Hi, today I tried to setup domainadmins for local administration tasks like installing software etc. I followed the instructions to create a unix group and added unix users to the group. The same user had a working roaming windows profile. After that I did a "net group add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admin". After logging on to the windows xp SP2 workstation, I'm still a "normal" user, gettinmg the message, that I don't have local administration priviliges. So I started googling and found an information, that I may have two Domain Admin groupmaps. That was right, so I deleted the newly created one and modified the existing one: net groupmap modify sid=S-1-5-21-3348813608-2003740952-1141461195-512 unixgroup=admin After loging on to the xp workstation, I still have no admin rights. The server is a RedHat Enterprise 3, kernel 2.4.21-40.ELsmp, samba-3.0.9-1.3E.7. Any Ideas or hints what to check? Which services have to run on the server, what smb.conf options are involved? Thanks for any hint, tip and troubleshouting-guide!
